Maybe My Rant about The Scam Awards ๐Ÿ† put me on the Hot Seat ๐Ÿ’บ

๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿ’

The Good Thing Is, I Do Not Need A Top Story To Validate My Aptitude Nor Will It Characterize My Love For Poetry ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ“โ™ฅ๏ธ

Since I was A YOUNG BOY,
I have fantasized about writing on my very own Blog and sharing my words with Millions of people, here On the platform was a Dream Come True, and That's why I Love This Appโ€ฆ
When I Feel Something is unfair I Speak About Itโ€ฆ We All Make Mistakes and As I and Other Creators have seen several times so does Vocal ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘ it is okay, but at least be fair and hear us out and justification, we are all a part of the Community and we are Helping the Community in our own ways- it is not that we feel entitled but don't back burn people to put other people in a Spot that they don't belong, just to make the community look good or to Boost a Creator's Ego, we all have to Learn and Evolve, it is ok to watch each other grow into Bigger Spots on The Platform, don't be worried about people leaving the App, because the real ones who Has a Passion โค๏ธ for Writing ๐Ÿ“ will always be hereโ€ฆ โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ’ฏ

    Glad to hear it.

    Go guy go.

    I missed your rant, but I agree that those who have a passion for writing will always write no matter what.

  • Dana Crandell2 years ago

    I refrained from sharing my feelings about the awards. (I'm already on the Vocal crap list.) I will say, here, however, that after voting in a couple of the categories, I'd had enough. Fortunately, when it comes to writing on the platform, I write for myself, and the feedback and interaction with other creators is more than enough reward. You are a star, and we enjoy watching you shine.

    Great share! I have felt the same feelings, so much work put in but not receiving the proper reads & notice. Your time will come again, just keep at it & writing what your passionate about. Weโ€™re a communityโ€ฆletโ€™s be inspired by another! Regardless of top stories or winning challenges, I remind myself the same thingโ€ฆour work is wonderful and it is needed. Keep it up!!!

  • Keep your head high, and thank you for always advocating for justice and speaking your truth. You inspired me a lot.

  • Yes, we should always write for ourselves and because we have passion for it. Your poem was so powerful!

  • Mariann Carroll2 years ago

    I understand, we all believe in our writing . I tell you a secret, the stories I wanted to get top story did not made the cut. I honestly get surprised when I get a Top Story. You have your style, in poetry like no other. I AM GLAD YOU KEEP YOUR PASSION FOR WRITING GOING ๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’—
